Bedroom size in Austin?

I am planning to do a house hack (I will live in the house, and rent out the other rooms). I am wondering, what is a "good enough" size bedroom for most tenants here?

Looking at buying a house, I sometimes see a place thats somewhat attractive, but a little small, and that also shows in the tenants bedrooms. Master is OK, but tenant bedrooms are 9x10 (or 10x10) and basically looks like a closet with a window. They may be smaller than that, in many instances the ad does not show dimensions. Could fit the bed and nightstands and there wouldn't be any other room. Sometimes I'll see pictures of these and they have a nursery or office, which further indicates its small to be a bedroom (even though they are listed as 3 bedroom, its really 2.5)

I just want to avoid getting a place where one of the bedrooms is small enough that many tenants are not interested.
